The details of Wilfried Zaha’s (31) loan away from parent club SK Galatasaray to Olympique Lyonnais have been revealed in a report by L’Équipe as the winger arrived this morning in the French city.
Zaha will join on a “dry” loan meaning that Lyon will not have the option to make the deal permanent at the end of the season. The Turkish giants will pay for Zaha’s wages for the 2024/25 campaign estimated to be around €6 million per year, but Lyon will pay €3 million in compensation for the loan.
Lyon are in the market for a winger with Ernest Nuamah (20) attracting interest from Nottingham Forest, Everton, and Fulham. Furthermore, Lyon are mostly in need of a proven goalscorer as they are yet to find the bottom of the net in this Ligue 1 season. Les Gones have lost their first two games of the Ligue 1 campaign in worrying fashion against Rennes (0-3) and AS Monaco (0-2).
